JOHN    DONNE 

He  was  of  Jiature  moderately  tall ;  of  a  Jlraight  and  equally 
proportioned  body,  to  which  all  his  words  and  actions  gave  an 
unexprefsible  addition  of  comelinefse. 

His  ajpect  was  cheerfully  and  fuch  as  gave  a  filent  teffmony  of 
a   cleere  knowing  Joule,  and  of  a  conjcience  at  peace  with  it  Jelfe. 

His  melting  eye  fhewed  he  had  a  Joft  heart,  full  of  noble  pity, 
of  too  brave  a  fpirit  to  offer  injuries,  and  too  much  a  Chrijlian, 
not  to   pardon  them  in  others. 

His  fancie  was  un-imitable  high,  equalled  by  his  great  wit,  both 
being  made  ujefull  by  a  commanding  judgement. 

His  mind  was  liberall,  and  unwearied  in  the  Jearch  of  know- 
ledge, with  which  his  vigorous  Joule  is  now  JatiJJied,  and  employed 
in  a  continuall  praije  oj  that  God  that  firfl  breathed  it  into  his  active 
body,  which  once  was  a  Temple  of  the  holy  Ghost,  and  is  now  become 
a  Jmall  quantity  of  Chrijlian  duff     But  I  shall fee  it  re-inanimated.

GENERAL    PREFACE 

No  complete  bibliography  of  Donne's  works  has  previously  been 
undertaken,  and  I  feel  confident  that  this  book  will  be  found  of  use  by 
students  of  Donne's  writings  and  by  collectors  of  the  original  editions. 
I  hope  it  may  also  be  of  value  to  all  those  who  take  more  than  a  casual 
interest  in  Donne,  and  to  bibliographers  in  general. 

The  material  that  I  have  used  has  been  drawn  mainly  from  the 
following  sources  :  the  chief  public  libraries  in  England  and  Scotland  ; 
the  college  libraries  in  Cambridge  and  Oxford  ;  some  of  the  cathedral 
libraries  ;  and  the  private  collections  of  members  of  the  Baskerville 
Club.  In  the  case  of  some  rare  books  I  have  also  recorded  copies 
in  other  private  collections  in  England  and  America,  and  a  few  from 
sale  catalogues.  I  have  myself  seen  almost  all  the  copies  recorded  as 
having  been  found  in  London,  Cambridge,  and  Oxford. 

The  two  books,  which  have  been  of  greater  assistance  to  me  than  any 
others,  are  Mr  Edmund  Gosse's  Life  and  Letters  of  John  Donne  and 
Professor  Grierson's  edition  of  Donne's  poems  ;  I  am  also  indebted  to 
these  authors  for  encouragement  and  help. 

I  wish  to  record  here  my  gratitude  to  all  those  Librarians  whose 
courtesy  has  rendered  available  to  me  so  much  of  the  material  upon 
which  this  bibliography  is  founded  ;  also  to  Miss  Henrietta  C.  Bartlett 
of  New  York  for  her  kindness  in  examining  on  my  behalf  those  editions 
of  Donne's  works  which  are  in  the  libraries  of  Mr  Beverly  Chew  and 
Mr  W.  A.  White. 

The  proof  sheets  have  been  read  by  Mr  Francis  Jenkinson,  Mr  Charles 
Sayle,  Mr  A.  T.  Bartholomew,  Mr  Cosmo  Gordon,  and  Mr  H.  G.  Aldis, 
and  I  am  deeply  grateful  to  these  gentlemen  for  the  numerous  and  useful 
suggestions  which  they  have  made.  I  am  indebted  to  Miss  E.  M.  Spearing 
for  some  important  corrections  in  the  section  dealing  with  the  Sermons. 

The  system  of  bibliographical  description  that  I  have  used  is,  I  hope, 
clear  enough  to  need  no  explanation.

PSEUDO-MARTYR 


J.  D. 


PSEUDO-MARTYR 


Bibliographical  Preface 

The  Pseudo-martyr  belongs  to  the  year  1609,  and  was  the  second  con- 
troversial work  composed  by  Donne,  though  it  was  the  first  to  be  printed. 
According  to  Walton  {Life,  1658,  pp.  37 — 38)  it  was  written  by  Donne  at  the 
command  of  King  James,  and  was  completed  within  six  weeks.  Mr  Gosse 
points  out,  however,  that  this  story  is  probably  untrue.  In  his  dedication 
Donne  writes — "  Of  my  boldnesse  in  this  addresse,  I  most  humbly  beseech 
your  Maiestie,  to  admit  this  excuse,  that  having  observed,  how  much  your 
Maiestie  had  vouchsafed  to  descend  to  a  conversation  with  your  Subiects, 
by  way  of  your  Bookes,  I  also  conceiv'd  an  ambition,  of  ascending  to  your 
presence,  by  the  same  way  " ;  it  is  unlikely  that  he  would  have  written  in 
this  manner,  had  the  book  been  composed  expressly  at  the  King's  command. 
Further,  a  passage  in  the  Advertisement  shews  that  the  Table  of  the 
Chapters  had  been  in  circulation  for  a  considerable  period  before  the 
completion  of  the  book,  and  though  the  last  two  chapters  mentioned  in  it 
were  never  written,  Donne  still  allowed  their  headings  to  appear  in  the 
Table.  "I  have  abstained,"  he  writes,  "from  handling  the  two  last  Chapters 
upon  divers  reasons  ;  whereof  one  is,  that  these  Heads  having  beene  caried 
about,  many  moneths,  and  thereby  quarrelled  by  some,  and  desired  by 
others,  I  was  willing  to  give  the  Booke  a  hasty  dispatch,  that  it  might  cost 
no  man  much  time,  either  in  expecting  before  it  came,  or  in  reading,  when 
it  was  come.  But  a  more  principall  reason  was,  that  since  the  two  last 
Chapters  depend  upon  one  another,  and  have  a  mutuall  Relation,  I  was  not 

1 — 2

willing  to  undertake  one,  till  I  might  persevere  through  both.  And  from 
the  last  chapter  it  became  me  to  abstaine,  till  I  might  understand  their 
purposes,  who  were  formerly  engaged  in  the  same  businesse." 

The  greater  part  of  the  work  is  now  chiefly  of  historical  interest,  and 
the  book  has  never  been  reprinted  ;  but  the  Preface  to  the  Priestes  and 
Jesuits  contains  some  interesting  autobiographical  passages.  A  more 
extended  account  of  the  book  will  be  found  in  Gosse,  i.   245 — 254. 

Donne's  book  was  perhaps  too  closely  reasoned  and  too  calmly  written 
to  admit  of  a  reply  being  easily  framed,  and  none  was  published  until  16 13  ; 
in  that  year  was  published  a  work  by  Thomas  Fitzherbert  in  which  a  long 
reply  to  the  Pseudo-martyr  is  to  be  found.  This  book,  which  is  not  recorded 
by  Donne's  biographers,  has  the  following  title  : 

A  Supplement  to  the  difcuffion  of  M.  D.  Bar/owes  an/were  To  the  Iudgment  of 
a  Catholike  Englishman  &c.  interrupted  by  the  death  of  the  Author  F.  Robert 
Persons  of  the  Society  of  Iefus...And  By  the  way  is  briefly  cenfured  M.  John 
Dunnes  Booke,  intituled  PJeudo-martyr : . .By  F.  T.  ...Permijfu  Superiorum. 
M.DC.XIII. 

The  answer  to  Pseudo-martyr  occupies  pp.  86 — 1 10  (Chap.  II  §§  30 — 78). 
The  Pseudo-martyr  is  also  referred  to  by  John  Boys,  Dean  of  Canterbury, 
in  his  work — An  expofition  of  all  the  principall  fcriptures  vfed  in  our  Engli/h 
Liturgie.  Together  with  a  reafon  why  the  Church  did  chufe  the  fame... 
London...  1 622.  "I  will  not  meddle,"  he  writes  (p.  277),  "with  the 
cobwebs  of  learning  in  the  Schoole,  which  have  more  wit  then  Art,  yet  more 
Art  then  use  ;  nor  with  the  distorted  and  idle  glosses  of  the  Canonists  : 
he  that  list  may  burthen  his  memory  with  a  shipfull  of  their  fooleries, 
accuratly  collected  by  the  penner  of  Pseudomartyr,  cap.    10."

reasons  which  the  author  explains  in  the  Advertisement  (see  my  preface).  The  book

more  serious  ones  recorded  by  Donne  in  the  errata.  The  pagination  of  sheets  Y

CONCLAVE    IGNATI 


CONCLAVE    IGNATI 


Bibliographical   Preface 

The  Conclave  Ignati  or  Ignatius  his  Conclave^  the  third  of  Donne's 
controversial  writings,  was  composed  and  published  in  1611.  Neither  of 
the  Latin  editions  is  dated,  but  Mr  Gosse  has  shewn  conclusively  (i.  257) 
from  internal  evidence  that  the  work  belongs  to  that  year.  It  is  a  vigorous 
and  amusing  satire,  but  except  in  Mr  Gosse's  book  (Joe.  eit.)  it  has  received 
very  little  notice  from  Donne's  biographers.  Two  Latin  editions  were 
printed  in  161 1.  One  of  these,  a  duodecimo,  has  no  imprint,  and  may 
have  been  printed  in  London  or  abroad  ;  it  is  extremely  rare,  only  two 
copies  being  known  to  me.  The  other  is  a  thin  quarto,  which  was  printed 
at  Hanau  ;  this,  too,  is  very  rare  and  is  recorded  here  for  the  first  time. 
The  first  edition  of  the  English  version  of  the  satire  was  also  published 
in  1611,  and  three  more  editions  were  issued  in  1626,  1634,  and  1635. 
The  English  version  was  reprinted  with  the  date  1653  with  the  Juvenilia 
in  the  volume  of  1652,  and  the  Latin  version  was  reprinted  in  1680  ; 
since  that  date  Donne's  satire  has  not  been  reprinted  in  either  form. 

The  earlier  issues  of  the  Conclave  Ignati  were  anonymous,  but  in  the 
three  English  editions  issued  after  Donne's  death  his  name  appears  on 
the  title-page;  it  is  omitted,  however,  from  the  Latin  reprint  of  1680. 
Donne  himself,  as  he  implies  in  the  preface,  regarded  the  book  as  too 
undignified  a  production  to  be  publicly  acknowledged,  but  doubtless  the 
authorship  was  well  known  to  his  contemporaries.  In  the  volume  of  1652 
the  editor,  John  Donne  the  younger,  describes  the  Ignatius  his  Conclave  on 
the  general  title-page  as  "  lately  found  among  his  [the  author's]  own  Papers," 
and  appears  to  ignore  the  previous  issues  ;  but  this  was  evidently  only  for 
purposes  of  sale.

SERMONS 


Bibliographical  Preface 

Donne  had  taken  orders  at  the  instigation  of  King  James  in  January, 
1615  ;  he  was  appointed  Dean  of  St  Paul's  in  November,  1621,  and  in  this 
capacity  became  one  of  the  most  celebrated  preachers  of  his  time.  The 
earliest  of  his  sermons  that  has  survived  with  a  date  was  preached  on 
April  30,  161 5  ;  his  last  sermon  was  preached  before  King  Charles  on 
February  25,  163 1,  and  was  soon  afterwards  printed  under  the  title  of 
Death's  duell1. 

Six  of  Donne's  sermons  were  printed  during  his  lifetime  between  1622 
and  1627  ;  seven  more,  including  the  Death's  duell,  were  printed  soon  after 
his  death,  and  later,  in  1640,  1649,  and  1660,  three  folio  volumes  containing 
1 54  sermons  were  issued  by  his  son,  John  Donne,  D.C.L.2  These  volumes 
included  the  seven  posthumous  sermons  just  mentioned,  but  the  remaining 
147,  with  the  exception  of  one  which  had  been  issued  anonymously  in  1638, 
had  not  been  printed  before.  Other  sermons  have  survived  in  MS.3  but 
have  not  yet  been  printed.  Those  sermons  which  were  printed  by  Donne 
during  his  lifetime  were  also  collected  by  him  in  successive  volumes 
containing  Three  Sermons  (1623),  Foure  Sermons  (1625),  and  Five  Sermons 

1  This  is  stated  by  Walton  to  have  been  preached  on  the  first  Sunday  in  Lent.  Miss  E.  M. 
Spearing  has  pointed  out  to  me  that  this  fell  on  Feb.  25  in  163^,  and  not,  as  stated  by 
Mr  Gosse,  on  Feb.  12. 

2  See  pp.  14.6 — 14.7  of  present  work. 

3  A  collection,  which  was  in  the  library  of  the  late  Prof.  Dowden,  is  now  in  the  possession 
of  a  member  of  the  Baskerville  Club,  Mr  Wilfred  Merton.

(1626)  ;  these  volumes  were  not  reprints  in  the  ordinary  sense,  but 
consisted  of  the  sheets  of  the  individual  sermons  as  first  issued  bound 
up  together,  with  a  general  title-page  substituted  for  the  title-page  of  the 
first  sermon.  The  sermons  also  occur  bound  up  together  by  their  original 
owners  ;  one  such  volume  in  the  library  of  Pembroke  College,  Cambridge, 
containing  all  the  sermons  issued  in  quarto  up  to  1634,  was  evidently 
collected  by  Izaak  Walton,  whose  autograph  appears  in  it  in  two  places1. 
The  great  majority  of  the  sermons  were  reprinted  by  Alford  in  his  edition 
of  1839. 

The  literary  value  of  Donne's  sermons,  particularly  in  relation  vto  his 
poetry,  has  only  recently  been  fully  realised2 ;  after  he  had  taken  orders  he 
wrote  but  few  poems,  and  his  sermons  consequently  became  his  chief  means 
of  expression.  According  to  Walton  he  did  not  read  his  sermons  from  the 
pulpit,  but  committed  them  to  memory  and  wrote  them  out  afterwards  in 
a  form  ready  for  publication3.  An  idea  of  the  manner  in  which  he  recast 
his  sermons  may  be  gained  by  comparing  the  text  of  the  sermon  printed 
by  Milbourne  in  1638  from  an  unauthorised  copy  with  that  of  the  same 
sermon  as  it  was  printed  in  the  folio  of  1660.  Walton's  description  of 
Donne's  delivery  of  the  first  sermon,  which  he  preached  before  the  King,  must 
be  accepted  as  a  true  estimate  of  his  great  power  as  a  preacher.  "  Preaching 
the  word  so,"  Walton  writes,  "  as  shewed  his  own  heart  was  possest  with 
those  very  thoughts,  and  joyes  that  he  laboured  to  distil  into  others. 
A  Preacher  in  earnest,  weeping  sometimes  for  his  Auditory,  sometimes 
with  them  ;  alwaies  preaching  to  himself  like  an  Angell  from  a  cloud,  but 
in  none  ;  carrying  some,  as  St.  Paul  was,  to  Heaven  in  holy  raptures,  and 
inticing  others  by  a  sacred  art  and  Courtship  to  amend  their  lives  ;  here 
picturing  a  vice  so  as  to  make  it  ugly  to  those  that  practised  it  ;  and 
a  vertue  so,  as  to  make  it  be  loved  even  by  those  that  lov'd  it  not,  and  all 
this  with  a  most  particular  grace  and  an  unexpressible  addition  of  come- 
linesse."     (Walton's  Life  of  Donne,    1658,  pp.   47 — 48.)

Collation:  A4  B— F4  G2;  26  leaves.

Note:  On  John,  x.  22.  Not  reprinted  in  the  folios,  or  by  Alford.  A4  has  been 
cancelled  in  all  the  copies  known  to  me,  including  those  bound  up  in  the  Three 
Sermons,  etc.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  catchword  on  A3^>  corresponds 
with  the  first  word  on  Bi«,  it  is  evident  from  the  sewing  that  the  signatures  A2 
and  A3  have  not  been  misprinted  ;  presumably  the  cancelled  leaf  was  a  blank.

and  the  Fine  fermons  of  1626.  In  four  of  these  by  an  error  of  the  printer  the  first 
page  of  the  text  and  the  second  page  of  the  introductory  address  have  been  transposed. 
In  the  fifth  example,  which  occurs  in  Mr  Edmund  Gosse's  copy  of  the  Fiue  fermons^

Note:  These  sermons  were  all  reprinted  in  the  Fifty  Sermons,  1649  (no«  3°)>  where 
they  are  numbered  28,  29,  3,  35,  12,  and  13  respectively.  They  are  also  printed  by 
Alford,  iv.  490,  512,  30,  v.  28,  iv.  191,  206.  The  fourth  is  stated  in  the  Fifty 
Sermons  to  have  been  preached  on  February  21,  161 1;  but  this  is  obviously  a 
mistake,  since  Donne  had  at  that  date  not  yet  taken  orders.  The  third  sermon 
was  also  reprinted  in  Illustrations  of  the  Liturgy  and  Ritual  of  the  United  Church  of 
England  and  Ireland.  By  James  Brogden,  M.A.  (London,  1842,  8°),  vol.  iii.  pp.  161

have  been  so  issued.

1638. 

Note :  These  sermons  do  not  seem  to  have  been  identified  before.  The  first  two  are 
by  Dr  Jackson1;  the  third,  by  Donne,  was  reprinted  as  sermon  19  in  XXVI  Sermons, 
1660  (no.  31),  where  it  has  the  title:  A  Sermon  of  Valediction  at  my  going  into 
Germany,  at  Lincolnes-Inne,  April  18.  1619.  The  text  of  1660  differs  very  con- 
siderably from  that  of  1638;  probably  the  sermon  was  rewritten  by  Donne  for 
publication  after  the  first  written  copy  had  been  "  communicated  to  some  friends." 
There  is  a  MS.  copy  of  this  sermon  in  the  Bodleian  Library  (Ashmol.  781,  ff.  1 — 1 1).

page  both  of  this  volume  and  of  the  Fifty  sermons,  representing  Daniel  praying,  was 
first  used  by  G.  Simson  in  1597.  It  probably  passed  to  Miles  Fletcher  (161 1 — 
1664)  in  1624,  and  was  also  used  by  his  son  James  (1649 — 1667).  It  is  recorded

Note  :    This  volume  was  very  carelessly  edited  and  printed. 

twenty-four,  instead  of  twenty-six,  sermons ;  sermon  9  is  left  out  altogether,  but 
this  omission  is  neutralised  by  the  fact  that  under  sermon  10  are  included  two 
sermons  on  the  same  text ;  on  the  other  hand,  two  of  the  sermons  are  printed  twice 
over,  nos.  16  and  17  being  merely  repetitions  of  nos.  5  and  3.  The  collation, 
printed  above,  will  be  seen  to  be  very  erratic  ;  three  of  the  quires,  Nn,  Oo,  and 
Ddd,  contain  six,  instead  of  four,  leaves,  and  two  signatures,  R  (?  with  sermon  9) 
and  Eee  are  omitted  altogether.  The  pagination  is  very  faulty,  although  the  right 
number  of  pages,  411,  is  finally  arrived  at.  The  numbering  runs  as  follows: 
Bi — Q4  are  numbered  1 — 120  ;  Si — Aa4#,  129 — 183  (Aa4^>  is  blank  and  has  no 
pagination);  Bbi — Kk4,  177 — 232;  Iii — Qq4,  241 — 296;  Ppi — Ddd6,  285  — 
392  ;  FfFi — Ggg4<7,  397 — 411.  There  are  in  addition  several  minor  misprints  in 
the  pagination.  Sermon  no.  26  was  first  published  as  Death's  duelly  1 632  (no.  24). 
The  sermons  have  all  been   reprinted  by  Alford,  i — vi. 

The  editor  has  added  a  note  to  the  preface  on  B2«  which  runs  as  follows  :  "By  the 
Dates  of  these  Sermons,  the  Reader  may  easily  collect,  that  although  they  are  the 
last  that  are  published,  they  were  the  first  that  were  Preached  ;  and  I  did  purposely 
select  these  from  amongst  all  the  rest,  for,  being  to  finish  this  Monument,  which  I 
was  to  erect  to  his  Memory,  I  ought  to  reserve  those  materials  that  were  set  forth

somewhat  advance  the  Price;  but  the  buyer  being  at  liberty,  he  can  receive  no 
prejudice."  This  note  explains  the  fact  that  the  XXVI  Sermons  is  considerably 
rarer  than  the  two  volumes  of  1640  and  1649;  it  is  also  a  smaller  volume  than 
these  two,  measuring  about  29  x  19  cm.  as  compared  with  34  x  23  cm.1  It  was 
printed  by  Thomas  Newcomb  (1649 — 1681),  and  was  twice  reissued  with  new 
title-pages  in  1661  (see  nos.  32  and  32  a).  The  curious  device  of  two  hands 
actuating  pumps,  with  motto  Dum  premor,  attollor,  which  is  used  on  the  title-pages 
of  all  the  issues  of  this  volume,  is  not  mentioned  by  McKerrow  in  his  Printers'  and 
Publishers'  Devices,  London,  1913;  but  I  am  informed  by  Mr  Sayle  that  it  was  used 
for  J.  Partridge  in  1630,  by  J.  R.  for  G.  Thomason  and  0.  Pullen  in  1645,  and

DEVOTIONS 


DEVOTIONS 


Bibliographical   Preface 

Donne  composed  the  volume  of  meditations,  expostulations,  and  prayers, 
known  as  his  Devotions,  during  a  serious  illness,  which  confined  him  to  his 
bed  during  the  last  months  of  the  year  1623.  At  one  period  he  was 
reduced  to  a  very  low  state  and  was  not  expected  to  recover.  Nevertheless 
his  brain  was  active,  and  he  sought  to  pass  the  time  away  by  recording 
his  states  of  mind  and  introspective  thoughts ;  the  result  is  a  most  re- 
markable and  interesting  book.  It  was  printed  soon  after  his  recovery 
early  in  1624,  and  a  letter1  to  Sir  Robert  Ker  written  during  February 
or  March,  1624,  has  been  preserved,  which  appears  to  have  accompanied 
the  proofs"  of  the  Devotions  and  asks  for  advice  concerning  the  projected 
dedication  to  the  Prince  of  Wales.  Several  other  letters  have  survived, 
which  were  sent  with  gift-copies  of  the  book  ;  these  were  addressed  to  the 
Queen  of  Bohemia  (Tobie  Matthew  collection,  no.  5),  to  a  lady  of  the  court 
of  Bohemia  (Gosse,  no.  22),  to  the  Duke  of  Buckingham  (Tobie  Matthew 
collection,  no.  9),  and,  probably,  to  the  Earl  of  Dorset  (ibid.  no.  10). 
The  book  seems  to  have  been  a  popular  one,  and  it  passed  through  three 
editions  (five  issues)  during  Donne's  lifetime ;  two  more  editions  with 
frontispieces  engraved  by  Marshall  were  published  during  the  seven  years 
succeeding  his  death.  The  Devotions  were  reprinted  by  Pickering  in  1 840 
and  by  Talboys  in  1841,  but  the  work  has  not  been  issued  since  then  and 
is  very  little  known  at  the  present  time.  I  do  not  know  of  any  translation 
or  foreign  edition  of  the  Devotions,  but  the  following  statement  is  made  by 
Morhof  in  his  Polyhistor  in  the  course  of  his  short  account  of  Donne's 
works  :  "  Scripsit  et  Meditationes  super  morbo  suo  sacras,  qua?  in  Linguam 
Belgicam  conversae  et  Amstelodami  1655  m  I2°  editae  sunt2."  This  state- 
ment is  sufficiently  definite  to  make  it  probable  that  such  a  translation  does 
exist ;  if  so,  it  is  probably  by  Sir  Constantine  Huyghens,  who  had  already 
translated  some  of  Donne's  poems  (see  no.   85).

JUVENILIA 


JUVENILIA 


Bibliographical   Preface 

Donne's  Juvenilia  are  clever  and  entertaining  trifles,  which  were  probably 
written  before  1600  during  the  more  wanton  period  of  their  author's  life. 
Owing  to  their  scurrilous  nature  they  could  not  be  published  during 
Donne's  lifetime,  but  in  1632,  shortly  after  his  death,  part  of  them  were 
licensed  by  Sir  Henry  Herbert.  The  licences  were  granted  on  October  25, 
1632,  but  on  November  14  an  order  of  inquiry  was  delivered  at  the  King's 
command  by  the  Bishop  of  London  calling  upon  Sir  Henry  Herbert  to 
explain  before  the  Board  of  the  Star  Chamber  his  reasons  "  why  hee 
warranted  the  booke  of  D.  Duns  paradoxes  to  bee  printed1."  The  inquiry, 
however,  was  ineffectual  in  preventing  the  publication  of  the  book,  the 
title-page  of  which  is  dated  1633.  It  is  not  known  through  what  channels 
the  publisher,  Henry  Seyle,  obtained  possession  of  the  text,  but  it  is 
probable  that  the  publication  was  quite  unauthorised,  and  took  place  even 
without  the  knowledge  of  John  Donne,  jun.,  who,  in  his  edition  of  1652, 
makes  no  reference  to  any  previous  issues.  Although  the  King  did  not 
succeed  in  stopping  the  publication  of  the  Juvenilia,  the  licences  were 
withdrawn,  so  that  when  the  demand  for  the  book  encouraged  the  publica- 
tion of  a  second  edition  during  the  same  year,  the  publisher  took  upon 
himself  to  issue  it  unlicensed ;  not  content  with  this  he  even  added  to  the 
first  problem,  "  Why  have  bastards  best  fortunes?,"  which  was  particularly 


1  This  interesting  document  was  discovered  by  Mr  Gosse  among  the  State  Papers  (Gosse, 
i.  16)  and  is  printed  in  the  Grolier  Club  Catalogue,  1905.

insulting  to  the  Court,  twenty-three  lines  which  had  not  appeared  in  the 
first  edition.  It  is  possible  that  steps  were  taken  to  suppress  this  edition, 
which  is  now  considerably  rarer  than  its  predecessor. 

In  1652  the  younger  Donne,  in  the  course  of  his  exploitation  of  his 
father's  writings,  issued  an  authorised  edition  of  the  Juvenilia,  in  which  he 
increased  the  number  of  the  paradoxes  from  eleven  to  twelve  and  that  of 
the  problems  from  ten  to  seventeen,  even  the  offensive  passages  in  the 
first  problem  being  now  allowed  to  remain.  To  these  he  added  two 
"Characters,"  "An  Essay  of  Valour,"  "A  Sheaf  of  Miscellany  Epigrams," 
a  reprint  of  Ignatius  bis  Conclave,  and,  finally,  the  Essays  in  Divinity.  The 
Epigrams  purport  to  have  been  written  by  Donne  in  Latin  and  to  have 
been  translated  into  English  by  Jasper  Mayne,  D.D.1  They  may  have 
been  printed  by  the  younger  Donne  in  good  faith,  as  it  seems  to  be  certain 
that  Donne's  epigrammata  mea  Latina  once  existed2;  but  the  epigrams 
attributed  to  him  in  this  volume  are  certainly  spurious  and  may  well  have 
been  composed  as  well  as  translated  by  Jasper  Mayne,  who  was  an  un- 
principled though  witty  divine  (see  Gosse,  i.  16).  The  Essays  in  Divinity 
had  been  printed  in  1651  for  a  different  publisher,  but,  as  is  explained 
elsewhere  (see  p.  69),  they  rarely,  if  ever,  occur  as  a  separate  volume ;  for 
the  younger  Donne  sought  to  temper  the  secularity,  and  even  obscenity, 
of  the  Juvenilia  by  issuing  them  in  company  with  the  Essays  in  Divinity 
and  in  this  way  to  invest  the  volume  with  an  altogether  fictitious  respecta- 
bility. This  fact  has  not  previously  been  noticed,  although  it  is  laboured 
by  the  editor  in  his  preface  :  "  I  humbly  here  prefent  unto  your  Honor, 
Things  of  the  leaft  and  greateft  weight,  that  ever  fell  from  my  Father's 
Pen  ;  which  yet,  are  not  fo  light  that  they  feem  vain  ;  nor  of  fuch  weight, 
that  they  may  appear  dull  or  heavy  unto  the  Reader.  The  Primrofes  and 
Violets  of  the  Spring  entertain  us  with  more  Delight,  than  the  Fruits  of 
the  Autumn ;  and  through  our  Gardens  we  pafs  into  our  Groves  and 
Orchards ;    preferving,   and   candying    the    Buds   and    Bloflbmes   of  fome 


1  The  epigrams  were  originally  advertised  by  the  publisher  Moseley  in  a  catalogue  of  his 
books  as  Fasciculus  Poematum  et  Epigrammatum  Miscelaneorum  Authore  Johanne  Dome  [sic]  D.D. 
Englished  by  Jasper  Maine,  Doctor  in  Divinity.  This  may  account  for  the  fact  that  Lowndes 
incorrectly  records  a  separate  issue  of  the  Epigrams,  dated  1632.

the  volumes  usually  occur  bound  up  together  and  that  the  original 
dedication  of  the  Essays  in  Divinity  has  been  cancelled,  there  is  nothing 
in  the  bibliographical  constitution  of  the  whole  to  shew  that  they  actually 
form  one  volume  ;  but  the  passages  quoted  above  make  quite  evident  the 
editor's  intention. 

Even  in  1652  the  Paradoxes  and  Problemes  were  not  printed  entire, 
for  another  problem,  entitled  "  Why  was  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  thought  the 
fittest  man  to  write  the  history  of  these  times  ?,"  has  been  preserved  at 
Oxford  (Tanner  MSS.  299,  f.  32),  the  copier  stating  that  it  "was  so  bitter 
that  his  son,  Jack  Donne  LL.D.,  thought  fit  not  to  print  it  with  the 
rest";   it  is  printed  by  Gosse,  ii.   52. 

The  Juvenilia  have  not  been  reprinted  since  1652.

BIATHANATOS 


8—2 


BIATHANATOS 


Bibliographical   Preface 

Biathanatos  is  the  earliest  of  Donne's  controversial  writings.  His 
neurotic  temperament  had  tor  many  years  been  fascinated  by  the  thought 
of  suicide  and  in  this  work,  written  probably  in  1608,  he  sought  by  the 
most  ingenious  casuistry  to  justify  the  act  of  self-destruction.  "  Whensoever 
any  affliction  assailes  me,"  he  wrote  in  the  preface,  "  mee  thinks  I  have  the 
keyes  of  my  prison  in  mine  owne  hand,  and  no  remedy  presents  it  selfe  so 
soone  to  my  heart,  as  mine  own  sword.  Often  Meditation  of  this  hath 
wonne  me  to  a  charitable  interpretation  of  their  action,  who  dy  so  :  and 
provoked  me  a  little  to  watch  and  exagitate  their  reasons,  which  pronounce 

so  peremptory  judgements    upon    them And   though   I    know,  that  the 

malitious  prejudged  man,  and  the  lazy  affectors  of  ignorance,  will  use  the 
same  calumnies  and  obtrectations  towards  me,  (for  the  voyce  and  sound  of 
the  Snake  and  Goose  is  all  one)  yet  because  I  thought,  that  as  in  the  poole 
of  Bethsaida,  there  was  no  health  till  the  water  was  troubled,  so  the  best 
way  to  finde  the  truth  in  this  matter,  was  to  debate  and  vexe  it,  I  abstained 
not  for  feare  of  mis-interpretation  from  this  undertaking.  Our  stomachs 
are  not  now  so  tender,  and  queasie,  after  so  long  feeding  upon  solid 
Divinity,  nor  we  so  umbragious  and  startling,  having  been  so  long 
enlightened  in  Gods  path,  that  wee  should  thinke  any  truth  strange  to 
us,  or  relapse  into  that  childish  age,  in  which  a  Councell  in  France  forbad 
Aristotles  Metaphysiques,  and  punished  with  Excommunication  the  ex- 
cribing,  reading,  or  having  that  booke."  Donne  was  unwilling  either  to 
publish  or  to  destroy  this  curious  and  characteristic  product  of  his  brain, 
and  it  was  therefore  handed  round  to  his  friends  in  manuscript ;  one  such 


bz  Bibliography  of  "John   Uomie 

copy,  which  was  given  to  Lord  Herbert  of  Cherbury  in  1619,  is  now  in 
the  Bodleian  Library,  another  was  sent  to  Sir  Robert  Ker  in  the  same 
year,  and  the  letters  which  accompanied  these  two  copies  have  survived 
(Letters^  1651,  nos.  7  and  8).  His  desire  was  that  after  his  death  the  book 
should  still  be  preserved  but  not  published  ;  his  son  nevertheless  assumed 
the  responsibility  of  making  it  public,  and  it  was  duly  licensed  on  September 
20,  1644.  The  title-page  of  the  first  issue  is  not  dated  and  appears  to  be 
unfinished,  but  this  was  probably  an  oversight  on  the  part  of  the  printer. 
This  issue  is  somewhat  rare,  the  majority  of  copies  containing  the  title- 
page  which  was  substituted  for  the  original  one  in  1648.  Several  gift- 
copies  of  the  Biathanatos  are  known  to  me  ;  one  of  these,  in  the  possession 
of  Mr  S.  G.  Dunne,  was  presented  to  "Ye  Rt.  Honourable  the  Kinsmoll" 
i.e.  Lady  Kingsmell ;  two  others,  now  in  the  Cambridge  University  Library, 
contain  letters  in  the  younger  Donne's  autograph,  which  are  but  little 
known1,  and  are  of  sufficient  interest  to  warrant  their  being  printed  here  :

1  take  the  bouldnesse  to  present  to  your  hands  this  booke,  hopinge 
that  it  may  bee  welcome  to  you,  euen  for  the  Patrones  sake,  who  has 
receaued  it  soe  nobly,  that,  I  cannot  doubt,  but  that  all  his  frinds,  will 
entertaine  it  as  somethinge  that  belongs  to  my  Lorde  Herbert,  and,  has 
lyen  still  these  fiftie  last  years,  to  expect  a  Patrone  noble  enough  to  enter- 
taine a  Peece  that  is  an  absolute  Originall,  and,  I  thinke,  drawen  by  noe 
very  ill  a  hande.

my  reason  of  presentinge  it  to  you,  at  this  time  ;  For,  since  I  liued  in  this 
Parish  I  haue  published  a  Volume  of  80  Sermons  preached  by  my  Father, 
and  haue  prepared  60  more,  which  are  licensed,  and  entered  in  the  Printers 
halle,  which  is,  as  farr  as  I  can  driue  them  vntill  the  times  allter1 ;  I  was 
encouradged  to  vndertake  this  worke,  by  the  learnedest  men  in  the 
kingdome,  of  all  professions,  and  was  often  told,  that  I  shoud  deserue 
better  by  doinge  soe,  then  by  keepinge  them  to  my  owne  vse,  for  by  this 
meanes,  I  did  not  only  preach  to  the  present  adge,  but  to  our  childrens 
children ;  Sr,  I  write  this  to  you,  that  you  may  iudg  what  a  sad  condition 
a  Scholler  is  in,  when  at  a  publicke  vestry,  in  this  Parish,  I  was  told  by  a 
pittifull  ignorant  Baker,  I  was  an  idle  man  and  neuer  preached

A  fourth  presentation  copy,  with  a  letter  on  the  fly-leaves  dated  Couent 
Garden,  London,  Julie  29,  1649,  was  sent  to  "  Sr  Constantine  Huygens, 
Knight,"  translator  of  Donne's  poems  (see  no.  85);  this  copy  belonged 
formerly  to  Dr  Grosart.  A  fifth  copy,  also  accompanied  by  a  letter,  was 
presented  to  "J.  Marckham  "  (Cat.  of  Heber  Lib.,  pt.  viii,  no.  728). 

Biathanatos  was  reprinted  by  an  anonymous  publisher  in  1 700,  but  since 
that  date  its  publication  has  not  been  undertaken2.

ESSAYS    IN   DIVINITY 


Bibliographical  Preface 

The  Essays  in  Divinity  were  written  by  Donne  about  the  year  1614  or 
16 1 5.  The  editor,  John  Donne  the  younger,  states  in  his  preface  "that 
they  were  the  voluntary  facrifices  of  feverall  hours,  when  he  had  many 
debates  betwixt  God  and  himfelf,  whether  he  were  worthy,  and  competently 
learned  to  enter  into  Holy  Orders,"  but  Mr  Gosse  regards  them  (ii.  63) 
as  nothing  more  than  scholastic  exercises  and  conjectures  that  "  they  were 
written  to  be  laid  before  the  Archbishop  as  a  proof  of  the  soundness  of 
Donne's  orthodoxy  and  the  breadth  of  his  learning."  The  four  prayers, 
however,  with  which  the  volume  ends,  have  a  much  greater  emotional  and 
biographical  value,  and  are  a  more  genuine  record  than  the  Essays  of 
Donne's  transition  from  a  lay  to  a  clerical  life. 

The  volume  was  printed  in  1651,  but  it  is  doubtful  if  it  was  ever  issued 
separately.  It  almost  invariably  occurs  bound  up  with  the  Juvenilia  of 
1652  under  the  title  of  Paradoxes,  problems,  ejjayes,  characters  etc.,  and  as  is 
shewn  elsewhere  (p.  50)  formed  part  of  this  volume.  It  is  nevertheless 
quite  possible  that  a  few  copies  were  issued  separately  in  165 1,  although 
I  have  not  yet  seen  a  volume  in  contemporary  binding  containing  the  Essays 
alone  ;  it  is  likely  that  such  copies  would  have  the  leaf  A3  intact,  which  has 
been  cancelled  in  all  the  examples  known  to  me  and  may  have  contained 
the  original  dedication  of  the  Essays  in  Divinity,  addressed,  perhaps,  not  to 
Lord  Newport,  to  whom  the  volume  of  1652  is  inscribed,  but  to  some 
other  patron  of  the  younger  Donne.  Copies  of  the  Essays  occur  separately 
in  recent  bindings,  but  this  is  probably  owing  to  the  fact  that  their  owners 
believed  them  to  form  an  independent  volume,  and  they  are  of  no  value  as 
evidence  of  a  separate  issue1. 

The  Essays  in  Divinity  have  only  once  been  reprinted,  edited  by 
Dr  Jessopp,  in    1855. 

1  A  copy,  for  instance,  in  the  library  of  Mr  Edmund  Gosse,  in  modern  binding,  has 
at  the  end  a  catalogue  of  8  pp.  of  books  printed  for  Humphrey  Moseley,  publisher  of  the 
Paradoxes,  Problemes,  etc.   of   1652,  suggesting  that   the  two  were  originally   issued   together.

LETTERS 

Bibliographical   Preface 

The  great  majority  of  those  of  Donne's  letters  that  have  survived,  have 
been  preserved  through  the  energy  of  his  son,  John  Donne,  D.C.L. 
A  few  had  been  printed  by  Marriott  in  the  early  editions  of  the  poems. 
Later,  in  1651,  the  younger  Donne  issued  a  volume  containing  one 
hundred  and  twenty-nine  Letters  to  several/  persons  of  honour;  it  would  be 
untrue  to  say  that  these  letters  were  edited  by  him,  since  they  were  merely 
thrown  together  in  any  order,  for  the  most  part  without  dates,  and  were  in 
addition  very  carelessly  printed.  Nevertheless  they  have  much  literary 
and  biographical  importance  and  become  of  great  interest  when  the  patient 
scholarship  of  a  present-day  editor  has  assigned  to  them  their  proper  dates 
and  positions  in  relation  to  the  events  of  Donne's  life.  This  necessary 
editing  has  been  done  by  Mr  Gosse,  and  in  his  Life  and  Letters  of  Donne, 
London,  1899  (no.  126),  the  letters  can  be  read  with  more  appreciation  than 
had  previously  been  possible.  The  younger  Donne  further  increased  our 
obligations  to  him  by  "editing"  in  1660  with  equal  carelessness  a  collection 
of  letters  which  had  been  made  by  Sir  Tobie  Matthew ;  this  collection 
includes,  among  a  number  of  letters  to  and  from  Donne,  twenty-five  from 
him  which  had  not  been  printed  before,  and  the  majority  of  these  have 
been  incorporated  by  Mr  Gosse  in  his  book  already  mentioned.  Nine  new 
letters  were  printed  by  Tomlins  in  his  annotated  edition  of  Walton's  Life, 
1852.  Finally  Mr  Gosse  himself  was  able  to  add  from  manuscript  sources 
eighteen  letters  which  had  not  previously  been  printed,  so  that  his  volumes 
contain  the  only  authoritative  collection  of  Donne's  letters  that  has  yet  been 
made.  A  few  more  letters,  also  used  by  Mr  Gosse,  have  been  gathered 
from  other  sources  and  are  recorded  in  the  entries  following.  There  are 
still  a  few  more  which  have  not  been  printed ;  the  copyright  of  these  has 
been  acquired  by  the  Clarendon  Press  and  they  will  be  included  in 
Professor  H.  J.   C.   Grierson's  projected  edition  of  Donne's  letters1. 

1  Contemporary  copies  of  five  long  letters  by  Donne  (four  closely  written  pages,  folio) 
were  sold  at  Puttick  and  Simpson's  on  Dec.  19,  1855.  I  do  not  know  whether  these  were 
published  letters  or  not,  or  their  present  whereabouts.

Note  :  This  collection  was  edited  by  John  Donne,  jun.,  whose  name  was  added  to 
the  title-page  of  the  issue  of  1692  (see  no.  62).  "Sir  Tobie  Matthew  was  son  of 
Dr.  Tobie  Matthew,  Archbishop  of  York;  he  was  born  in  Oxford  in  1578,  while 
his  father  was  Dean  of  Christchurch.  During  his  travels  he  was  reduced  to  the 
Romish  religion  by  Father  Parsons.  This  occasioned  his  absence  from  England 
from  1607  to  1 61 7,  when  he  had  leave  to  return.  He  was  ordered  to  leave  it 
again  in  Oct.  161 8;  but  in  1622  was  recalled  to  assist  in  the  match  with  Spain; 
and  on  account  of  his  endeavours  to  promote  it  was  knighted  by  King  James  at 
Royston,  Oct.  10,  1623.  He  was  much  cultivated  by  Lord  Bacon,  and  translated 
the  Essays  into  Italian.  He  died  at  Ghent,  Oct.  13,  1655."  (Transcribed  from 
a  MS.  note  on  the  fly-leaves  of  the  ULC  copy.)  Three  of  Donne's  letters  (nos.  I — 3) 
in  this  collection  have  not  been  reprinted.

Bibliographical  Preface 

In  this  section  I  have  included  only  those  few  pieces,  which  are  certainly 
by  Donne  and  were  printed  in  various  books  during  his  lifetime.  A  few 
other  poems  by  Donne  were  printed  in  books  published  between  1640  and 
1675,  and  these  I  have  recorded  in  the  footnotes  to  the  section  containing 
the  collected  Poems.  A  number  of  other  poems,  which  have  been  attributed 
to  Donne,  though  actually  spurious  or  of  doubtful  authenticity,  are  to  be 
found  in  other  publications  of  the  seventeenth  century,  but  I  have  not 
considered  these  to  be  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  given  a  place  in  this 
bibliography ;  they  will,  for  the  most  part,  be  found  recorded  in  Professor 
Grierson's  edition  of  the  poems.

ANNIVERSARIES 


ANNIVERSARIES 


Bibliographical  Preface 

The  First  Anniversarie  was  composed  by  Donne  in  memory  of  Elizabeth 
Drury1,  daughter  of  his  patron  Sir  Robert  Drury  of  Hawsted  in  the  county 
of  Suffolk.  The  Funerall  Elegie  is  believed  to  have  been  written  in  1 6 1  o 
at  the  time  of  her  death  and  the  Anatomie  of  the  World  a  year  later,  in  161 1. 
To  the  praise  of  the  Dead  and  the  Anatomy  is  not  by  Donne  and  was  probably 
written  by  Joseph  Hall,  who  was  rector  of  Hawsted  from  1600  to  1608. 
The  second  Anniversarie  was  written  early  in  16 12,  but  again  only  Of  the 
progres  of  the  Soule  was  by  Donne,  The  Harbinger  to  the  Progres  being  by 
Hall.  Donne's  name  does  not  appear  in  any  of  the  editions  recorded 
below,  but  their  authorship  was  doubtless  well  known,  and  Donne  refers  to 
the  poems  in  a  letter  to  George  Gerrard,  dated  April  14,  16122.  According 
to  Grierson  these  editions  were  printed  with  increasing  carelessness,  but 
when  the  Anniversaries  were  reprinted  in  the  collected  Poems  of  1633  they 
were  more  carefully  edited  ;  they  also  appear  in  all  later  editions  of  the 
Poems.  All  the  separate  editions  of  the  Anniversaries  contain  marginal 
notes;  these  were  somewhat  imperfectly  reproduced  in  1633  and  in  later 
editions  were  omitted  altogether.  For  further  details  concerning  the 
Anniversaries,  see  Gosse,  i.  273 — 278,  and  Grierson,  ii.  178 — 189,  who 
gives  facsimile  reproductions  of  all  the  title-pages.

COLLECTED    POEMS 


COLLECTED    POEMS 


Bibliographical   Preface 

The  texts  of  the  various  editions  of  the  collected  Poems  have  been 
exhaustively  dealt  with  in  the  recent  Oxford  edition  by  Professor  Grierson  ; 
he  gives  also  type-facsimiles  of  all  the  title-pages,  but  he  only  mentions 
some  of  the  more  strictly  bibliographical  details,  which  will  be  found  re- 
corded under  the  entries  following.  Very  few  of  Donne's  poems  were 
published  during  his  lifetime  (see  section  on  Occasional  Pieces),  but  a  large 
number  of  MS.  copies  were  in  circulation,  and  between  twenty  ancTthirty 
of  these^which  are  all  described  by  Grierson,  ii.  lxxix — cxii,  have  survived'. 
Donne  died  in  March,  1631,  and  the  publisher,  John  Marriot,  seems  to 
have  entered  upon  the  preparation  of  his  poems  for  the  press  very  shortly 
afterwards,  helped,  Grierson  conjectures,  by  Henry  King,  Bishop  of 
Chichester.  The  poems  were  registered  at  Stationers'  Hall  on  September 
13,  1632,  and  the  following  entry  was  made  : 

1 30  Septembris   1632 
John    Marriot.     Entred   for   his   Copy   vnder   the    handes   of   Sir   Henry 
Herbert  and  both  the  Wardens  a  booke  of  verses  and  Poems  (the  five 
satires,  the  first,  second,  Tenth,  Eleventh,  and  Thirteenth  Elegies  being 
excepted)  and  these  before  excepted  to  be  his  when  he  bringes  lawful  1 
authority  ..........     yjd 

written  by  Doctor  John  Dunn 

(Arber's  Transcripts,  1877,  iv.  *249) 


1  One  of  these  MS.  collections,  designated  D  by  Grierson,  ii.  Ixxxiii,  which  was  formerly 
in  the  library  of  the  late  Edward  Dowden,  is  now  in  the  possession  of  a  member  of  the 
Baskerville  Club,  Mr  Wilfred   Merton. 

J.  D.  14 


io6  bibliography   of  fohn   ^07777-6 

Another  entry  is  found  shortly  afterwards  : 

310  octobris  [1632] 
John    Marriott.      Entred    for    his    Copy   vnder    the    hands   of   Sir   Henry 
Herbert  and  Master  Aspley  warden  The  five  Satires  written  by  Doctor 
J:  Dun  these  being  excepted  in  his  last  entrance  .  .  .     vjd 

(ibid.  iv.  261) 

There  is  no  further  entry,  however,  concerning  the  excepted  elegies. 
The  first  edition  of  the  Poems,  dated  1633,  is,  according  to  Grierson,  the 
most  trustworthy  of  the  original  editions,  though  the  arrangement  is  some- 
what chaotic.  In  1635  the  pieces  were  rearranged  and  a  considerable 
number  were  added,  but  the  additions  contain  a  large  proportion  of  spurious 
poems.  Two  more  were  added  in  1 649  and  several  unimportant  pieces  in 
1650.  Several  more  were  added  in  1669,  but  of  these  only  two  are  by 
Donne.  In  1650  the  younger  Donne  had  secured  control  of  the  publication 
and  the  edition  of  that  year  contains  a  characteristic  dedication  from  his  pen. 
Of  all  the  seventeenth  century  editions  that  of  1633  occurs  most  commonly 
and  it  contains,  as  has  been  said,  the  best  text;  the  edition  of  1669  is  the 
most  complete,  but  it  contains  many  very  bad  readings  and  a  large  number 
of  spurious  pieces.  Some  of  Donne's  poems  were  translated  into  Dutch 
by  Sir  Constantine  Huyghens  early  in  the  seventeenth  century,  though  the 
translations  were  not  published  until  1672  (see  no.  85)  ;  no  other  foreigner 
has  yet  repeated  the  attempt. 

After  Tonson's  edition  of  1 7 1 9  very  slight  notice  was  taken  of  Donne's 
poems  during  the  eighteenth  century  and,  indeed,  no  edition  of  importance 
was  published  until  they  were  edited  by  Grosart  for  the  Fuller  Worthies 
Library  in  1872 — 3.  The  Grolier  Club  of  New  York  issued  an  important 
edition  in  1895  anc^  an  exceedingly  useful  edition  was  prepared  by 
Mr  E.  K.  Chambers  for  the  Muses'  Library  in  1896.  All  previous 
editions,  however,  have  now  been  superseded  by  that  edited  in  191 2  for 
the  Clarendon  Press  by  Professor  H.  J.  C.  Grierson,  whose  scholarship 
/  and  industry  have  provided  for  readers  of  Donne's  poems  as  good  a  text 
as  can  possibly  be  expected.  A  number  of  poems  not  previously  printed 
were  added  successively  by  Chambers,  Gosse,  and  Grierson.

*  This  Elegy  is  omitted  from  later  editions  of  the  poems.  Its  author  is  identified  by  Mr  Gosse 
with  Sir  Thomas  Browne  of  Norwich  {Life  of  Sir  T.  B.  By  E.  Gosse.  Lond.  1905.  8°.  p.  18), 
and  Grierson  (ii.  255)  accepts  this  identification,  though  there  is  no  evidence  in  support  of  it. 
It  seems  to  me  most  improbable  that  the  elegy  is  by  Sir  Thomas  Browne.  Possibly  it  is 
by  the  signatory  of  the  Imprimatur  of  the  80  Sermons,  1640  (see  no.  29).

Note  :  This  book  appears  to  have  been  repeatedly  corrected  as  it  passed  through  the 
press  and  consequently  it  is  found  in  a  number  of  different  states.  I  have  not 
collated  in  detail  the  texts  of  the  numerous  copies  that  have  been  in  my  hands,  but 
I  have  applied  to  most  of  them  a  rough  test  which  has  served  to  some  extent  to 
differentiate  them.     This  test  depends  on  the  three  following  points  : 

i.      The  signature  on  the  first  leaf  of  The  printer  to  the   Under standers  is  in  the 

earliest  copies  *,  but  it  was  afterwards  altered  to  A. 
ii.      Page  8,  line  7,  has   in   earlier  copies  "to  fee   the   Prince,"  but   this   was 

altered  later  to  "  to  fee  the  Princeffe." 
iii.     Page  326,  third  line  from  bottom,  has  in  earlier  copies  "  Charitably  warm'd 

of  thy  finnes,"  and  in  later  copies  "Charitably  warn'd  of  thy  finnes." 

Thus  one  finds  copies  on  the  one  hand  with  sign.  *,  "  to  fee  the  Prince,"  and 
"  Charitably  warm'd  "  ;  this  is  the  earliest  form  of  all.  On  the  other  hand  the 
majority  of  copies  have  sign.  A,  "  to  fee  the  Princeffe,"  and  "  Charitably  warn'd." 
There  occur  also  every  possible  combination  of  these  three  misprints,  indicating 
intermediate  states.  The  pagination,  which  is  faulty,  varies  in  different  copies  ;  the 
mistakes,  which  occur  in  a  copy  of  the  final  form  of  the  book  as  determined  by  the 
above  test,  are  noted  in  square  brackets  in  the  page  references  of  the  list  of  contents 
given  above. 

The  first  quire  of  the  book  consists  of  four  leaves  :  first  leaf  blank,  second  leaf 
title,  third  and  fourth  leaves  (with  sign.  A3  and  A4)  the  Epijlle  etc.  The  two 
leaves  with  The  printer  to  the  Understanders  and  Hexastichon  Bibliopolae  (with  sign. 
A  and  A2)  are  an  insertion,  and  are  placed  sometimes  after  the  Epijlle,  but  more 
often  in  the  centre  of  the  first  quire,  so  that  the  collation  then  appears  to  be  :  [a]i 
blank,  [a]2  title,  Ai — A2  The  printer  etc.,  A3 — A4  Epijlle  etc.,  and  this  has  misled

Frontispiece :  Inserted  before  Ai.  A  portrait  of  Donne  at  the  age  of  18,  engraved  by 
Marshall;  the  painting  from  which  the  engraving  was  done  is  not  known2.  A  bust 
of  the  subject  is  shewn,  within  an  oval,  8'5  x  6  cm.  His  dress  is  plain,  but  he  is 
represented  with  long  hair  and  with  a  large  ear-ring  in  the  shape  of  a  cross 
hanging  from  his  right  ear.  His  right  hand  is  grasping  the  hilt  of  his  sword. 
Above  the  oval,  on  the  left,  the  engraving  is  inscribed:  Anno  Dni.  1 591.  |  aetatis 
suae.  18.;  above,  on  the  right,  is  a  crest  with  motto:  Antes  muerto  que  rnudado'1.

Note  :  In  this  edition  the  pieces  have  been  rearranged  (see  Grierson,  ii.  lxiii)  and  there 
are  some  changes  in  the  text  ;  they  include  all  that  had  appeared  in  1633  with 
the  exception  of  Basse's  Epitaph  upon  Shakespeare,  and  Thomas  Browne's  elegy  on 
the  author.  Of  the  thirty-seven  pieces  that  have  been  added  twenty-nine  are 
poems  supposed  to  be  by  Donne  ;  of  these  one  (no.  17)  appears  twice  and  eleven 
are  not  accepted  by  Grierson  as  genuine.  This  edition  contains  therefore  seventeen 
additional  poems  by  Donne.  The  Hexastichon  ad  Bibliopolam.  Incerti  on  A^.b  is 
also  an  addition. 

The  errata,  signed  Thine,  I[ohn\  M[arriot\  explain  that  the  Epijile  to  The 
Progrejfe  of  the  Soule  (on  A5 — A6)  should  have  been  printed  before  the  poem  at 
p.  301.  There  seems,  however,  to  have  been  an  earlier  issue  in  which  the  errata 
do  not  appear.  This  fact  was  communicated  to  me  by  Miss  Henrietta  C.  Bartlett 
of  New  York,  who  had  herself  examined  an  example  of  this  issue  in  the  library  of 
Mr  Beverley  Chew  ;  she  states  that  the  volume,  which,  as  far  as  I  know,  is 
unique,  is  in  other  respects  identical  with  the  ordinary  issue.

Printed  by  Thomas  Newcomb  (1649 — 1681).  There  are  numerous  changes^ 
in  the  text  of  this  edition.  Hazlitt  states  that  pp.  95 — 98,  containing  the  additional

Note  :  The  translations  are  preceded  by  one  leaf  Tot  den  leser,  and  two  poems, 
Aen  Teffelfchade  and  Aen  ein  fchoone  Weduwer.  Huyghens  explains  in  the  note 
Tot  den  User  that  "  Charles  I  having  heard  of  his  intention  to  translate  Dr  Donne, 
4  declared  he  did  not  believe  that  anyone  could  acquit  himself  of  that  task  with 
credit ' "  (Grierson,  ii.  lxxvii).  This  is  also  referred  to  by  Morhof  in  his  Polybistor 
(see  no.  109)  where  he  writes:  "Quorum  [Poemata]  aliquot  in  Linguam  Belgicam 
vertit  Constantius  Hugonius  a  Carolo  secundo  Rege  sollicitatus,  qui  inimitabilem 
Germanis  et  Belgis  hujus  viri  stylum  putabat."  For  Huyghens's  opinion  of  Donne 
expressed  in  a  letter  to  Hooft  in  1630  see  Grierson  (/oc.  cit.).  The  translations  are 
also  referred  to  in  M.  Llewellyn's  Men-Miracles,  1646,  in  a  passage  the  last  two 
lines  of  which  run  : 

Thus  we  climbe  downwards,  and  advance  as  much 
As  He  that  turn'd  Donne's  Poems  into  Dutch.

WALTON'S    LIFE    OF    DONNE 


WALTON'S    LIFE    OF    DONNE 


Bibliographical  Preface 

Walton's  Life  of Donne ,  though  written  with  an  extraordinary  grace  and 
spontaneity,  is  not  to  be  relied  upon  for  accuracy  of  detail,  in  spite  of  the 
fact  that  the  author  declared  in  his  note  To  the  reader  in  the  edition  of 
1658  :  "My  desire  is  to  inform  and  assure  you,  that  shall  become  my 
Reader,  that  in  that  part  of  this  following  discourse,  which  is  onely 
narration,  I  either  speak  my  own  knowledge,  or  from  the  testimony  of  such 
as  dare  do  anything  rather  than  speak  an  untruth."  The  Life  appeared  in 
its  first  form  in  the  prefatory  matter  to  the  80  Sermons,  1 640,  which  was 
edited  by  the  younger  Donne.  Though  considerable  additions  were  made 
in  later  issues,  this  original  form  of  the  Life  remained,  except  in  detail, 
unaltered.  The  first  separate  issue  of  the  Life  was  published  in  1658  and 
this  contained,  as  Walton  says  in  the  dedication,  "  fewer  blemishes  and 
more  ornaments  than  when  'twas  first  made  publique."  The  dedication 
was  addressed  to  Sir  Robert  Holt,  grandson  of  John  King,  Bishop  of 
London,  and  nephew  of  Henry  King,  Bishop  of  Chichester,  friend  and 
executor  of  Donne,  who  warmly  commended  Walton's  Life  of  Donne  in  a 
letter  printed  at  the  beginning  of  the  1670  edition  of  the  Lives.  The 
chief  additions  made  to  the  Life  in  1658  are  noted  under  the  entry 
following. 

In  1670  Walton  included  the  Life  of  Donne  in  the  well-known  volume 
of  Lives*1,  which  passed  through  several  editions  in  the  seventeenth  century

and  has  been  so  many  times  reprinted  since  ;  I  have  made  no  attempt  to 
deal  with  the  bibliography  of  this  volume.  The  actual  account  of  Donne's 
life  underwent  very  little  change  in  this  edition,  but  the  Epistle  Dedicatory 
and  the  note  To  the  reader  were  omitted  ;  instead  of  these  there  was 
inserted  an  Introduction  consisting  of  the  first  paragraphs  of  the  Life  and 
a  passage  from  To  the  reader.  The  letters  printed  at  the  end  of  the  edition 
of  1658  were  omitted,  but  part  of  one  of  them  and  an  extract  from  a  new 
one  were  incorporated  in  the  text  (see  no.  61).  There  were  also  added 
"An  hymn  to  God,  my  God,  in  my  sickness.  March  23,  1630,"  and 
Walton's  "Elegy  on  Dr.  Donne.  April  7,  1632."  I  have  not  seen  copies 
of  the  second  and  third  editions  of  the  Lives,  but  the  fourth  edition, 
published  in  1675,  contains  an  important  addition  in  the  form  of  a  long 
account  of  Donne's  vision  of  his  wife  seen  while  he  was  in  Paris  in  161 2, 
together  with  the  verses  entitled  "  A  Valediction  forbidding  mourning " 
{Poems,  1633,  no-  IOO)>  which  he  had  given  her  at  parting. 

An  edition  of  the  Lives  was  edited  with  important  annotations  by 
Thomas  Zouch  in  17961.  Further  annotations,  useful  though  sometimes 
rather  prolix,  were  added  by  T.  E.  Tomlins  to  an  edition  of  the  Life  of 
Donne  published  in  1852,  which  is  the  only  separate  reprint  of  this  Life 
known  to  me  and  is  therefore  described  under  entry  no.  107.

APPENDIX    I 

WORKS   BY  JOHN    DONNE,    D.C.L. 


Preface 

John  Donne  the  younger  was  born  while  his  father  was  living  at 
Pyrford  in  Surrey  in  1604.  He  was  sent  to  Westminster  School,  and 
in  1623  was  elected  a  student  at  Christ  Church,  Oxford.  Nothing  is 
known  of  his  life  during  the  next  ten  years  except  that  in  1629  his  father 
had  destined  him  for  the  Church,  as  appears  from  a  passage  in  a  letter  to 
Mrs  Cockain,  in  which  he  tries  to  console  her  for  the  death  of  her  son  by 
writing  :  "  Since  I  am  well  content  to  send  one  son  to  the  Church,  the 
other  to  the  Wars,  why  should  I  be  loth  to  send  one  part  of  either  son  to 
heaven  and  the  other  to  earth1."  In  1634  he  was  still  at  Oxford  and 
a  somewhat  unpleasant  incident  is  said  to  have  taken  place  there  ;  it  is 
related"  that  in  a  fit  of  temper  he  struck  a  small  boy  with  his  riding  whip, 
the  child  afterwards  dying  as  the  result  of  his  injuries.  Donne  was  tried 
at  Oxford  in  August  1634  for  manslaughter,  but  he  was  acquitted  owing 
to  the  uncertainty  of  the  medical  evidence.  Possibly  as  the  result  of  this 
incident  he  proceeded  soon  afterwards  to  Padua  and  there  took  the  degree 
of  D.C.L.  He  returned  in  1637  and  was  incorporated  a  D.C.L.  at 
Oxford  on  June  30,  16383.  It  was  about  the  same  time  that  he  fulfilled 
his  father's  wishes  by  taking  orders.  He  soon  obtained  preferment  and  on 
July   10,    1638,  he   was  presented  by   the  King  to  the  rectory   of   High

Roding  in  Essex.  On  June  io,  1639,  he  was  presented  to  the  rectory  of 
Fulbeck  in  Lincolnshire,  and  about  the  same  time  to  the  rectory  of  Ufford, 
Northamptonshire,  in  the  diocese  of  Lincoln1.  He  continued  to  rise  in  the 
Church  and  in  1648  was  chaplain  to  the  Earl  of  Denbigh2,  to  whom  he 
dedicated  the  Fifty  Sermons  of  1 649.  From  about  the  year  1 640  he  lived 
in  Covent  Garden  and  he  may  have  been  incumbent  of  some  church  in  that 
district.  His  petition  of  1661  on  behalf  of  the  inhabitants  of  Covent 
Garden  is  recorded  here  under  entry  no.  148.  He  died  at  the  age  of  58 
in  1662,  and  his  will  (see  no.  150)  was  printed  as  a  broadside  in  February 
of  the  same  year. 

Meanwhile,  from  the  year  1 640  to  the  time  of  his  death,  he  had  been 
shewing  considerable  literary  activity,  and  it  is  owing  to  his  energy  that  the 
greater  portion  of  his  father's  writings  has  been  preserved  for  us.  There 
is  evidence  that  the  elder  Donne  had  early  thought  of  his  son  as  his 
future  literary  executor,  for  he  had  written  to  a  friend  from  Chelsea  on 
November  25,  1625  :  "I  have  revised  as  many  of  my  sermons  as  I  have 
kept  any  note  of,  and  I  have  written  out  a  great  many,  and  hope  to  do 
more.  I  am  already  come  to  the  number  of  eighty3,  of  which  my  son,  who, 
I  hope  will  take  the  same  profession,  or  some  other  in  the  world  of  under- 
standing, may  hereafter  make  some  use4."  On  the  other  hand  Henry  King, 
Bishop  of  Chichester,  in  a  long  letter  written  in  1640  to  Izaak  Walton, 
which  was  prefixed  to  the  Lives  in  1670,  states  that  Donne  professed 
before  several  witnesses  on  his  death-bed  "  that  it  was  by  my  restless 
importunity,  that  he  had  prepared  them  [the  sermons]  for  the  press  "  ;  he 
declares  also  that  three  days  before  his  death  Donne  had  made  him  his 
executor  and  given  him  the  sermons,  his  sermon  notes,  "  and  his  other 
papers,  containing  an  extract  of  near  Fifteen  hundred  Authors."  He 
further  hints  that  the  younger  Donne,  using  Walton  as  a  go-between,  had 
filched  these  papers  from  his  keeping,  and  this  was,  indeed,  probably  the 
case,    for    in    his   will   Donne   makes    the    following    bequest:    "To    the

3  This  does  not  refer  to  the  80  Sermons  of  1640,  since  twenty-six  of  the  sermons  in  that 
collection  are  dated  later  than  1625,  the  year  in  which  this  letter  was  written.  This  was  first 
pointed  out  by  Mr  F.  E.  Hutchinson  in  the  Camb.  Hist,  of  Eng.  Lit.  iv.  240-1.

^Appendix  I  i±n 

Reverend  Bishop  of  Chichester  I  return  that  Cabinet  that  was  my  Father's 
...and  all  those  Papers  which  are  of  Authors  analysed  by  my  Father." 
Donne  states  in  his  preface  to  the  XXVI  Sermons  of  1660  that  "upon  the 
death  of  my  father... I  was  sent  to  by  His  Majesty  of  Blessed  Memory  to 
recollect  and  publish  his  Sermons"  ;  this  may  or  may  not  have  been  true. 

Donne's  petition  of  1637  to  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury  shews  that 
already  before  this  he  had  made  an  attempt  to  gain  control  of  those  others 
of  his  father's  writings  which  had  been  published  without  his  authority. 
The  petitioner  states  "  that  since  ye  death  of  his  Father  there  hath  bene 
manie  scandalous  Pamflets  printed,  and  published,  under  his  name,  which 
were  none  of  his,  by  severall  Boocksellers,  withoute  anie  leave  or  Autoritie  ; 
in  particuler  one  entitoled  Juvenilia,  printed  for  Henry  Seale  ;  another  by 
John  Marriott  and  William  Sheares,  entitoled  Ignatius  his  Conclave,  as 
allsoe  certaine  Poems  by  ye  sayde  John  Marriote,  of  which  abuses  thay 
have  bene  often  warned  by  your  Petr  and  tolde  that  if  thay  desisted  not, 
thay  should  be  proceeded  against  beefore  your  Grace,  which  thay  seeme  soe 
much  to  slight,  that  thay  profess  soddainly  to  publish  new  impressions, 
verie  much  to  the  greife  of  your  Petr  and  the  discredite  of  ye  memorie  of 
his  Father1."  The  Archbishop  granted  Donne's  petition  by  calling  upon 
those  concerned  to  desist  from  their  illegal  practices,  but  his  authority  was 
ineffectual,  and  it  was  only  in  1650  that  Donne  acquired  control  of  his 
father's  poems,  in  which  year  he  published  an  edition  with  a  dedication  to 
Lord  Craven.  In  1644  he  published  his  father's  Biathanatos,  and  his  pre- 
sentation copies  of  this  book  with  the  letters  contained  in  them  have  already 
been  noticed  (see  pp.  62 — 63).  In  1649  he  issued  the  second  volume 
of  Fifty  Sermons,  and  in  an  address  to  the  Lords  Commissioners  ot  the 
Great  Seal  he  indicates  that  he  had  not  undertaken  the  publication  ot  the 
sermons  without  some  official  reward.  In  a  letter  already  quoted  (p.  63) 
of  about  1 644  he  shews  that  he  had  had  these  sermons  ready  and  entered 
at  Stationers'  Hall,  but  that  he  had  kept  them  back  from  fear  of  persecution 
by  the  Commonwealth  government.  In  1651  he  published  his  father's 
Letters  to  several  persons  of  honour,  and  in  the  same  year  he  prepared  the 
Essays  in  Divinity,  which  he  incorporated  in  1652  in  the  volume  ot  Juvenilia

together  with  a  reprint  of  Ignatius  his  Conclave.  In  1660  he  issued  the 
final  volume  of  XXVI  Sermons,  this  time  at  his  own  expense.  In  the  same 
year  he  also  edited  both  Sir  Tobie  Matthew's  Collection  of  Letters,  and 
a  collection  of  poems  by  the  Earl  of  Pembroke  and  Sir  Benjamin  Ruddier1. 
His  own  work,  entitled  Donne's  Satyr  (no.  149),  was  published  in  1662  ;  it 
consists  of  somewhat  obscene,  though  not  very  amusing,  pleasantries. 

The  younger  Donne's  character  has  usually  been  held  somewhat  in 
contempt,  and  it  is  certain  that  he  gives  no  particular  sign  of  intellectual 
distinction  and  does  not  appear  to  have  been  remarkable  either  for  honesty 
or  for  morality.  Anthony  a- Wood  has  characterised  him  as  "an  atheistical 
buffoon,  a  banterer,  and  a  person  of  over  free  thoughts,  yet  valued  by 
Charles  II."  The  following  little-known  extracts  may  be  quoted  from  two 
of  his  letters,  which  are  unfortunately  not  dated  : 

"  I  receaued  a  letter  from  yr  Lp.  this  weeke,  but  it  was  rauished  from 
mee  by  a  verie  handsome  Ladie,  who  after  shee  had  taken  the  pleasure  of 
readinge  it,  tore  it  and  burnt  it  ;  a  little  more  familiarity  would  haue  giuen 
me  a  iust  occasion  to  haue  clapt  her  breech,  and  then  I  must  haue  faught 
with  Sir  Lionell  the  husband,  for  it  is  now  cominge  into  fashion2." 

"  I  hope,  likewise,  you  haue  not  the  feare  of  God  before  your  eyes,  and 
being  ashamed  of  that,  make  Hine-head  and  Lob-lane  your  excuse  ;  if  you 
haue,  pray  my  Lord  speake  plaine,  that  if  you  are  turned  sainct,  we  may 
deliuer  you  up  to  Satan,  and  keepe  these  Angels  to  ourselues3." 

We  are  now,  however,  prying  into  his  private  life,  and  we  must  leave 
him  with  a  remembrance  of  the  gratitude  due  to  him  for  his  labours  on 
behalf  of  the  memory  of  his  father.

The  two  dull  and  unimportant  works  by  John  Done  called  Polydoron 
and  The  Ancient  History  of  the  Septuagint  have  been  persistently  attributed  to 
Donne,  some  colour  being  lent  to  this  attribution  by  the  fact  that  the 
publishers  have  falsely  described  Done  on  the  title-page  of  the  second 
edition  of  The  History  of  the  Septuagint  as  "  the  Learned  and  Reverend 
Dr  John  Done,  late  Dean  of  St.  Pauls."  An  inquiry  concerning  Done, 
which  was  made  in  Notes  and  Queries  (Ser.  6.  vi.  47),  elicited  from  the  late 
Dr  Augustus  Jessopp  the  following  reply  :  "  It  is  one  of  the  '  curiosities 
of  literature'  that  this  latter  volume  [The  History  of  the  Septuagint']  should 
have  been  attributed  to  the  Dean  of  St.  Paul's  by  every  editor  of  Walton's 
Lives  till  the  mistake  was  pointed  out  by  me  in  1855.  It  is  a  trumpery 
production,  and  could  never  be  set  down  to  the  great  dean  by  any  one  .ir 
all  familiar  with  his  writings.  I  tried  to  find  out  something  about  the  man 
Done  twenty-five  years  ago,  but  I  cannot  lay  my  hands  on  my  notes  ;  my 
impression  is  that  he  was  a  needy  schoolmaster,  who  was  employed  by  the 
booksellers."  (N.  &  Q.  Ser.  6.  vi.  95,  July,  1882.)  A  long  letter  from 
Done  on  alchemy  is  preserved  in  the  Bodleian  (Ashm.  MS.  1415,  t.   [9^).

APPENDIX    V 

ICONOGRAPHY 

[This    list   is  only    intended   to  be  a  brief  guide   to  the   iconography  of 

John  Donne.] 

A.  Oil  Paintings : 

i.     Bust,  full  face,  with  bare  neck  and  a  cloak  round  the  shoulders.     Circular, 
diameter  58  cm.     Painted  in   1631,  aet.  59.     Painter  unknown.     Now  in 
the  dining-room  at  the  Deanery  of  St  Paul's  Cathedral. 
An  engraving  after  this  portrait  was  made  by  Lombart  in  165 1  (see  no.  5 
below).     The  painting  is  reproduced  in  Gosse,  frontispiece  to  vol.  ii. 

2.  A  replica  or  copy  of  no.  1.     Now  in  the  Dyce  collection  at  the  Victoria  and

B.  Stone  Effigy  : 

3.  Full-size  effigy  of  Donne  in  his  shroud  ;  at  his  feet  is  an  urn  and  above  his 

head  is  a  marble  tablet  with  an  epitaph  written  by  himself.  Carved  in 
Italian  marble  by  Nicholas  Stone  in  163 1  after  the  portrait,  which  had  been 
drawn  on  a  board  by  an  unnamed  artist  shortly  before  Donne's  death.  The 
effigy  was  originally  within  the  choir  in  the  south  aisle  of  old  St  Paul's,  and 
was  the  only  monument,  which  was  saved  intact  from  the  fire  of  1666  ;  it 
is  now  in  a  corresponding  position  in  the  present  Cathedral.  For  further 
particulars  of  this  effigy,  see  Walton's  Life  of  Donne,  1658,  pp.  1  1  1  — 114, 
and  Gosse,  ii.  280 — 288. 
Engravings  of  the  effigy  were  made  by  Marshall  (no.  7  below)  and  by  Hollar 
(no.  9  below).  Photographs  of  it  are  reproduced  in  Gosse,  vol.  ii,  facing 
p.  280.

above  ;  the  "  original  picture  "  is  perhaps  to  be  identified  with  no.  2,  the 
dress  having  been  slightly  altered  in  the  engraving.
